Earth
has entered the Virtual Century (V.C.). The world is now controlled by a few large
syndicates that operate the media industry and Earth has entered into a new dark age.
Human have switch their focus from saving the planet to space colonization. Compared to
the Earth, those colonies outside Earth are expanding and developing at a much greater
speed and the syndicates on Earth are wary of this newfound power. In V.C.0084, one of the
syndicates on Earth, DN, has found the ruins of a civilization that houses technology far
more advanced than on Earth or any of the other colonies. DN hides this technology and use
it to produce weapons that are much more advanced than its competitors'. These human-like
robots are code-named Virtualroids (VRs). As it turns out, VRs are difficult to control,
and only people who are "Virtual On Positive" (VO+) can control a VR well. In a
discreet attempt to search for these people, DN makes a video game called Virtual On
and puts it in the local video arcades to test for VO+ players. Unknown to the players,
there is a remote control system in each game machine that can link-up the simulators to
actual VRs situated on the Moon, where DN's VR factory is located. However, the central
computer in the VR factory has become self-aware, and takes control of the DN enterprise
on the Moon. The ultimate weapon-the Sun Cannon-has been activated by the central
computer. Sensing disaster, DN has little choice but to destroy the renegade factory with
their VRs. Operation Moongate is put into action, the satellite link-ups are activated,
and VO+ players are (unknowingly) used in a real-life wargame. Can you battle your way
through the renegade Virtuaroids and destroy the Sun Cannon before it destroys the
earth?
